Great site

Rosenbaum, Wen - 25/04/2025

Excellent showers and toilets. Great pitches for motorhomes. Great location and just off the Tarka trail so great walks. One of the best sites we’ve stayed on for a long time. Will return.

Harpham, Kirsten - 25/04/2025

Very impressed with the facilities. Super clean and in very good condition. All the staff we came into contact with were friendly, welcoming and willing to go the extra mile...even in the pouring rain. The best campsite we have ever been to. We will most definitely be returning!

Fab and friendly campsite

Padfield, Tara - 20/04/2025

5

Booked on the spur of the moment, based on direct access to the Tarka Trail for cycling. Cycled both ways and had lunch at Puffin Billys and the Bell & Dragon, on different days (recommended).Pleasantly surprised by this friendly and fab campsite. We had to move pitches initially as there was no 3 phone service in the valley, but it was early in the season (mid April), so luckily plenty of availability. Pitch P27 was level and had mobile service plus WiFi, so I was able to work.Hilly, but accessible with good paths and dog friendly.Facilities are excellent, well presented and clean, with hot showers and plenty of pressure.A free dishwasher is available for 3-5min washing, plus a free dog wash and drier, which we used (great).There are laundry facilities and 2 outside swimming pools, which we didn’t use as we were only there 3 nights and pools not open til May.Would definitely recommend and will be back. Thanks to the lovely team who maintain this great place.

WE have been coming here for many years and over that time it has got better and better. Shower very clean with showers that actually work! Loads of hot water and last long enough.Now there is some free internet access! Bit patchy but OK. The grass areas are well maintained with the clippings collected.Perfectly situated for access to the Tarka trail cycle route.

Warm welcome and fantastic facilities

Brereton, Susan - 14/04/2025

5

We were greeted with a very warm welcome and directed to our pitch. What a lovely place to stay. The facilities were one of the best we've experienced during our many years of camping. Plenty on offer for young and older families, from a playground, soft play area, games room along with cycle paths and the added bonus of cycle hire uf you don't have room to carry your own. Shower block facilities were spotless and very modern. There was also free use if a dishwasher too! The swimming pools weren't open during our stay as it was too early in the camping season but the area around them looked great. Well recommended and superb value for money. Thank you for a lovely relaxing break.

The facilities were great. The access to tsrka trail was brilliant but could not find many other walks .An information room with walks etc would have been useful as not everyone can access the app

Lovely campsite

Harris, Krista - 31/03/2025

5

There is nothing to dislike about this site. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The shower and toilet facilities are the best we have ever used on a campsite. So clean. Washing up facilities greet; there is even a dishwasher! Camping area nice and flat to pitch tent, with electric hook up and water very close by. Picnic table with the pitch too which is a real bonus. All in all there is nothing to complain about here.
